Spring is a, ahem, difficult season here in Vermont. In fact, I hesitate to even refer to it as spring since we really don't even have a spring here, at least not until much later than everyone else. We have mud season, then fake spring, then torrential, flooding...
Winter, where are you going? I can't post my lengthy monologue to winter on instagram ha ha, I never want to be one of those boring people that posts a book in their caption. But I have really strong feelings about winter, and honestly, I physically mourn it when...
It's happening... a winter with no snow! I cannot even believe it is mid-January already and we have hardly had any of the white stuff. I figured living in Vermont one thing you would at least be assured of would be a nice cold and snowy winter, sure, I get that it...
Well, it has literally already snowed here, and I still hadn't gotten around to posting any Fall pics! I spend most of my time on instagram, but I always enjoy putting together a few full-size shots. This was definitely one of Vermont's most gorgeous autumns yet,...
I don't know about you, but this record hot hot heat has made me seek out even more lakes this summer than ever before! I am definitely more of a pool person because I'm skittish about strange things bumping up against me ha ha, this is probably one of the reasons I...
This has been a truly amazing year for sunrises and sunsets here in Vermont! Maybe it's because we moved and now we have a wide-open west-facing field that I've noticed the sunsets more, or I've been more energetic and out and about on foot early in the morning for...
Goodbye winter! No one is sadder to say this than me, I absolutely love winter, and even though I feel like Vermont is the Scandinavia of the United States, I still sometimes think I should actually be living in Scandinavia, I just love winter that much. Norway,...
What amazing sunrises and sunsets we've had this year! It has been bitter cold, and definitely not nearly enough snow, but the light this winter has been absolutely amazing! It's so funny, it's either a snowy winter and not that cold, or a bitter winter but there's...
I'm not sure why it took The Deer in the Shires so long to connect with White Doe Farm ha ha, but it finally happened! You meet so many wonderful people on instagram, and I recently had the opportunity to connect with the beautiful White Doe Farm, just a short jaunt...
We had a few big snows in November and early December but none lately so I'm so glad I got out in it while the gettin' was good! It's frustrating to be a nordic skier as opposed to downhill, most of the nordic ski mountains don't make snow so we're reliant on Mother...
In case you missed it on the 'gram! It was a super busy Fall this year, it was much better than last year for sure, and we moved into our new house at long last so I've been super busy with that but I still got around to all the special spots, here for you in one...
Stowe, VT Well Summer 2021 has been a bit of an improvement over 2020 I would say, we were so lucky in Vermont last summer that Covid really died down here so we got to do some in-state traveling and play a lot of golf. But the fear of the pandemic still was hanging...
I'll be honest. Spring is my least favorite season in Vermont. And I use the term "spring" loosely because we don't really have one. Yes, the blooms start, with the forsythia and then those smart enough to plant daffodil and tulip bulbs, and then everything else...
Vermont has two quiet seasons, also known as Stick Season and Mud Season. While these aren't official seasons that the Department of Tourism would recognize ha, because there's nothing nice about them, but they do have a beauty all their own. Stick season is in...
Sure the snow and bitter cold temps can be a challenge in winter, but I think the number one complaint of Vermonters would be the lack of sunshine. You can definitely turn up the heat, and snow can be gorgeous, especially when it has first fallen, but if there's no...
